I agree, as the season progresses the ISR is always top heavy with PAC teams. But the RPI has plenty of SEC teams. I'm not sure how any of it is calculated or really care to take the time to figure it all out, but as Dodger Matt said, it makes you wonder when the first 9 are all Pac teams.

This no excuse for LSU though, as once again we a very weak OOC schedule. Although we do have a series with Washington, your ISR#3 team. Maybe that is why their ISR is so high.

Not to bring football into baseball discussions, but everyone is guilty of scheduling patsies. Not just the SEC. And as the past few seasons have gone, you could say the opposite for the SEC.

I'm here!! I don't really post much but I lurk around daily. I often read some of the Pac 12 discussions b/c theres not much of other conference chat. I haven't seen any other posters other than the Beavers and ducks mostly.

Last year seemed way more active than this year. Maybe it is because we are only 2 weeks in. Hopefully it picks up.

I'm excited for the matchup this weekend and glad to see LSU playing a PAC12 team in the regular season.

I hope its a good series this weekend. At 4-8, what can LSU expect from the Huskies? The friday starter Austin Voth appears to have some good stuff, at least looking at his pitching line. 31 strikeouts in 21.1 IP and only 4 walks is impressive.

Anybody got some info on Washington? Or looking forward to the SEC/PAC12 matchup?

Haha, well there are no Duquesne or William and Mary this year. But your right, it is exciting when we get a bigger name school on the schedule for OOC.

Good win for the tigers last night, LSU hit pretty well and Nola was on through the first 6 until he lost it in the 7th. Washington had some pretty big errors as well that allowed LSU for some big innings.

Why didn't Voth pitch last night? It would be a good matchup tonight for him to go up against Eades.

I was much more active on the old rivals board, and came here when that shut down. Not as active here but I visit the site daily and lurk around all the discussions. I would say the lack of other LSU fans and SEC fans in general is what keeps me from posting more. Just too lazy to create my own topics and in game threads.

After hitting two 2-run Homeruns friday night, and a solo homerun saturday Mississippi St. threw at the head of LSU first baseman Mason Katz with the first pitch in his first at bat of Sundays game. The ball did not hit him but narrowly missed behind his head.

Mississippi st. pitcher said that they just wanted to set the tone for the game.

The only "sportsmanlike" rules I ever care about are:1. Don't EVER aim to injure, or nearly injure a player. This includes head shots or near-misses. What happens if you miss your "miss" and hit it?

2. There is no such thing as unwritten rules. Whatever you can do to win that does not break rules or put someone in physical danger, do it. Squabbling over rules (like a runner walking over the pitcher's mound) is like the rich people in the Titanic movie who are angry that Leo's character is allowed in their dining room.

I agree with this mostly. Don't see the problem with throwing inside to back a hot batter off the plate. But throwing at someone just to throw at them is a bit much, especially at the head. These are college pitchers, they don't have complete control of their command like the pros. And like Southern Beaver said, what if you miss your "miss".

Rivals still gets some traffic, quite a bit some days. You have some prolific posters over there, like 2Bulldogs, who has a LOT to say about a lot of things...and he has a way of poking his finger in people's eyes so they respond. Not saying that's a bad thing. Just saying it generates lengthy discussions. If you get that guy over here, the traffic here will jump dramatically. There are other fan groups that could thrive here as well. Vanderbilt fans and Gamecock fans for example.

Thanks Hogfan. I knew Arkansas did as well. I would like to see a report listing the schools by an avg. actual attendance as well. Maybe just by SEC schools since those are the only ones I know of that record actual.

I'm anxious to see how LSU plays the rest of the way. No offense to Miss. State, Auburn and Mizzou, but now the meat of the schedule is coming up the rest of the way. LSU did what they were supposed to these first 3 series, but now I think we will see what type of team this is. Not having a No. 3 starter is a major concern.

Trust me I feel ya! The Hog boards are great when you win and a nightmare anytime the team gets behind. They drive me crazy! You probably already notice this mostly PAC 12 guys, but they are great people! Glad to have you on board. Join in each week in the Pac12 predictions. I don't know much about their teams but its fun just to guess! Also I'm going to try to start listing big SEC series each week like this post started. Love to get other people's insight.

Right now I think there is one other LSU fan on the board and a Gamecock, other than that it's a lot of Beaver! Now that's not too bad of a thing though right??

I can't help but think of how great our offense could really be if Jacoby Jones and Ty Ross could only hit for below average. With averages of .188 and .179 the inning they come to the plate there are already 2 outs. Guys like Bregman and Katz are going to cool off a little at some point and we are going to need to find runs from somewhere else at some point.
